Having a strong sense of humor is essential to getting through the harder parts of life, yet very lonely people often use humor to deflect how they really feel. They tend to develop a self-deprecating sense of humor, which means they make fun of themselves or put themselves down in a way that makes other people laugh. Self-deprecating humor masks their loneliness. By making jokes about themselves, it's almost as though they're teasing themselves before anyone else can do so.
